SUBMISSION DEADLINE April 25,2012
C3S2E'12 : Fifth International C* Conference on Computer Science & Software
Engineering
Montreal, QC, CANADA. 27-29 June, 2012
CALL FOR REGULAR, TRACKS,WORKSHOPS AND POSITION PAPERS; POSTERS AND DEMO
C3S2E12[*]is the fifth in a series of international conferences to
address the need of the academic community in computing science and
software engineering. The objective of C3S2E is to meet annually to
exchange ideas on the continuing need to address the new challenges
both from the theoretical as well as application aspects of computing
and engineering of software systems. C3S2E encourages the
participation of practitioners from governmental and non-governmental
agencies, industries, and academia.
C3S2E invites quality papers describing original and applied research
ideas and new findings on technological and theoretical aspects of
computing and software engineering. In particular, we welcome
submissions describing work on integrating new technologies into
products and applications, on experiences with existing and novel
techniques, and on the identification of unsolved challenges. We
consider this meeting to be an important forum to discuss experiences
in applying computing and software engineering to actual
situations. Authors are invited to submit papers in English or French,
reporting recent research in the area of computing and software
development theories and practices and experience in related
fields. While research papers should report original research work,
experience and application papers should describe the development and
operations of challenging computing related systems and applications.
The symposium will have focused sessions in the following areas:
* Algorithms and Theory
* Artificial Intelligence and Related Subjects
* Bio-medical,life science and medical computing
* Computational Linguistics
* Computing Applications
* Core Computing Technology
* Data Bases
* E-Commerce
* Ethics
* Hardware and Architecture
* Human-Computer Interaction
* Open Source
* Parallel Computing
* Programming Languages
* Privacy and Security
* Software Engineering
* Supercomputing
* System Technology
* Virtual Reality
* Web Design and Development
* Emerging computing technologies
The scope of the conference includes the above topics but is not
restricted to these areas in computing and software engineering:
following are some of the topics typically used by computer scientists
to describe their interests.
Algorithms, Applications, Artificial intelligence, Automata theory,
Automated reasoning, Bioinformatics, Compiler theory, Computability
theory, Computational complexity theory, Computational linguistic,
Computer architecture, Computer graphics, Computer programming,
Computer security, Computer vision, Concurrency, Cryptography, Data
Models, Data mining, Data structures, Data warehousing, Digital
library, Distributed computing, Expert Systems, Formal methods,
Functional Programming, Game theory, Graph theory, Human computer

INVITED TALKS
Health: a new concept and many new opportunities in the Age of Social Media
Alejandro (Alex) R. Jadad, MD DPhil,
University of Toronto and University Health Network
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS
First International Workshop on Formal Methods for Self-Adaptive
Systems (FMSAS 2012). Submissions for the workshops are through
ConfSys(see below).Please address any inquiries about the workshop to
'fmsas[at]confevent[dot]net'.
POSITION PAPERS
In addition to regular papers, position papers are invited. These
papers could be work in progress and/or exploring of new concepts and
directions.
Position papers should be clearly marked on the first page and for the
review purpose could be of a length varying from a short paper(6-10
pages) to a regular full paper(15-20 pages).
POSTER & DEMOS
This is an integral part of this meeting. In the poster session,
graduate students are invited to compete by presenting their work in
progress either as a poster or a demo. The students have a chance to
orally present their work and also display the salient features of
their work and answer questions. The posters would be judged by the
attendants and the best posters could be awarded prizes.
The length of a poster paper and demo proposal for review purpose
would be 5-7 pages. The adviser could be a co:author of a poster paper
or demo proposal, however, if the poster paper/demo is accepted, the
student is required to register and participate. Poster papers and
demo summaries would be published as part of the proceedings.
CULTURAL/SOCIAL EVENTS
In addition to the conference dinner, there would an opportunity to
take in some of the Jazz fest of Montreal, visit museums and just
enjoy the city in summer.
CONFERENCE PUBLICATION
The conference proceedings will be published by BytePress in
association with ACM and would be added to ACM's Digital Library. All
submissions would also be invited to publish their papers in the CINDI
Digital Library. The extended version of the best papers would also be
invited for publication in the first issue of CS2E journal which would
be launched in 2012.
All accepted papers along with the copyright forms must be submitted
electronically before the deadline to

Submission Guidelines
Please prepare the full paper in proportional font size of 11 or
12(Times Roman font or equivalent) with spacing of 1.5 lines. The
paper, for review, should be about 5000 words (15-20 pages).
The upload to ConSys should be in PDF format. Please do not use any
special characters or foreign language fonts. Reviewers may not be
able to open such documents. Please observe the following:
FORM OF MANUSCRIPT
Manuscripts should be formatted for single sided letter or A4 sized
paper, with spacing of at least 1.5 lines with a 2.5cm margins on all
sides. Number pages consecutively with the first page containing the
title, the authors, the affiliation, a short abstract from 100 to 250
words, and five to ten key words. Also, indicated all the topics for
the paper from the list of topics for the conference in ConfSys. Since
these topics as well as the abstract will be used by ConfSys to help
the program committee members choose appropriate papers, it is
essential to make them as indicative of the contents of the paper as
possible.
STATEMENT OF EXCLUSIVE SUBMISSION
Submissions must be original. The work cannot have been published
previously or be pending publication in another forum and submissions
cannot be under review by any other forum.
It is expected that all authors accept the following statement:
This paper (or a similar version) is not currently under review by a
journal or conference, nor will it be submitted to such until the
result of this review has been communicated. Furthermore, the
author(s) agree to abide by the decision of the Program chairs and
would participate in the meeting should the paper be accepted.
The author who submits a paper is expected to inform all co:authors of
the submission and has their approval.
Authors should submit only papers that have been carefully proofread
and polished. Papers that are clearly unacceptable will be returned by
the editor without being reviewed. Authors must clearly acknowledge
the contributions of their predecessors.
Submissions will be evaluated on their originality and significance.
Though a group of authors may submit multiple papers, we expect that
each paper would be presented by a separate co:author to allow for a
wider point of views during the presentations and discussions. The
authors are expected to upload the paper in PDF format.
PDF format Guidelines
At a minimum, basic PDF distiller settings MUST be changed so PDF
files are: optimized, set to Acrobat 4.0 compatibility, all graphics
are set to at least 300 dpi resolution, ALL fonts used must be
embeddable. Some font manufacturers now flag their fonts to not
embed. These fonts should be avoided. Postscript settings SHOULD NOT
override distiller settings and page size is 612.0 x 792.0 points
(8.5" x 11"). Authors should check their final PDF files before
submission to verify that all fonts have been properly embedded and
subset. Please DO NOT USE type 1 (bit-mapped) fonts; they do not
display correctly in most PDF readers.
The program committee reserves the right to consider any paper, to be
accepted as a short paper or to be presented in a poster or the
workshop session. One of the authors of each accepted paper is
expected to present the paper in person.
